The Washington Times published
my piece on liberal Democrats and illegal immigrants.
Liberal Democrats don’t like
the broad term illegal immigrants, so the joke goes, as they much prefer to
think of them as undocumented future registered Democrats.
Two recently elected
Democrats, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Philadelphia District Attorney Larry
Krasner, are so enamored with illegals that they appear to favor these
non-citizens over the legal citizens who obey the law, pay taxes and just
happened to have elected them to their respective offices.
One of Mr. Murphy’s first
acts in office was the creation of the Office of Immigrant Protection. Although
the governor has been vague on the details of the new office, his spokesman
told reporters that the Office of Immigrant Protection will serve as a single
point of contact for any New Jersey resident facing detention or deportation,
with a focus on expanding access to legal services to these residents.
During his gubernatorial
campaign, Mr. Murphy vowed to ban state and local police departments from
assisting the federal government in “mass deportations.” And according to his
campaign website, he also vowed to make life easier for our “undocumented
neighbors.” He promised to provide driver’s licenses and statewide ID to
illegal immigrants, extend in-state financial aid to the “Dreamers,” those
brought illegally to the U.S. as children, increase access to professional
licenses for immigrants, raise the minimum wage, guarantee earned sick leave,
and strengthen workplace protections.
Under the new governor, New
Jersey will also join other states in a lawsuit that challenges President
Trump’s authority to end a program that allows Dreamers to avoid deportation.
Across the Delaware River
from New Jersey in Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, the recently elected
Philadelphia district attorney, also has announced the creation of a new top
position in his office that is solely dedicated to protecting the “rights” of
illegal immigrants.
During his campaign for DA,
which was funded in large part by a huge donation from leftist billionaire
George Soros, Larry Krasner vowed to fight what he deemed to be President
Trump’s anti-immigration agenda. He promised to maintain Philadelphia’s status
as a “sanctuary city” and protect the Fourth Amendment rights of all residents,
regardless of legal status. He stated that he would cooperate with federal
authorities only to the degree required by law.
… “This guy wants to protect
illegal immigrants who commit crimes and lock up cops who are just doing their
jobs,” an angry Philly cop said to me during the election. “He cares more for
illegal immigrants than legal citizens and crime victims. He’s more concerned
with radical politics than putting the bad guys away.”
